The government shutdown is affecting many important services in our community—and food is one that will be impacted.  We wanted to take a moment to let you know of some of the changes in the EBT and SNAP benefits during this time.

People who receive EBT and food stamps (SNAP)benefits—will receive their benefits early, around January 20th—it is important to note that these are not extra benefits, these will need to last through February so it is important for families to budget and plan in order that you have benefits left to provide your food through February

MTCS is committed to supporting our students and families.  Teachers and staff are donating food and other supplies for families.  We are creating a food shelf.  If you are in need of support, please reach out to us at the District office—612-722-9013 or email at contact@emailmtcs.org and someone will get back to you right away.

These are times when a strong community makes all the difference.
